Well, yes. But some movies are less obvious than others.

Although it's yet another testament to how unoriginal Lucas is, since it very obviously takes quite a lot from The Lord of the Rings.

Find me a fantasy film that doesn't rip of Lord of the Rings to some extent.  That said, I think George ripped himself off, as nearly every character is a fantasy equivalent of a Star Wars character.

yeh, Willow just took things from one of the early drafts for Star Wars. He did tinker with the idea of having the main characters for SW as dwarfs. You've got all the main characters from SW in there; Willow is Luke, Madmartigan is obviously Han Solo, Sorsha is Leia, Bavmorda is Vader, Raziel is Obi-Wan.

I don't know whether to laugh or be horrified by imagining the Original Trilogy featuring Luke, Leia, Han, Vader and Obi-Wan as Ewoks.

Out of Gas

Serenity (Pilot)

Jaynestown

Ariel

I was including the movie in my consideration.  It's fourth from the bottom of the complete list for me, so it doesn't make the top six.  But in this company, fourth from the bottom is still pretty good.  YMMV, obviously.

Gesundheit.

1.  The Empire Strikes Back

2.  Star Wars

3.  The Clone Wars Series

4.  Revenge of the Sith

5.  Return of the Jedi

6.  Ewok Adventures

7.  Clone Wars Micro-Series

8.  The Lego Specials

9.  Robot Chicken Specials

10.  Family Guy Specials

11.  The Phantom Menace

12.  Attack of the Clones

13.  Ewoks

14.  Droids

Hey look another Star Wars Ranking thread. Really surprising seeing so many people putting PT films above OT ones. Maybe 2010 was a more forgiving time?

We need a Ranking the Ranking the Star Wars Films threads thread.

Theatricals:

1. Empire Strikes Back
   Simply put, a perfect masterpiece. My personal favorite film of all time. It gives me a moviegasm every time I think about it.
2. A New hope
   Absolute child-defining experience and the Star Wars movie I have watched the most times. Simply fantastic!
3. Return of the Jedi/Force Awakens
   Tied up here because Jedi wraps up the trilogy with such emotion and catharsis and Force Awakens has such great characters with a fun return to Star Wars. But both have their problems. Jedi has a lack of tension and depth of certain characters and the Force Awakens lack of originality was damaging.
4. Revenge of the Sith
   Best story of any of the movies besides Empire for me. Best soundtrack besides Empire. Most tear jerking scenes in entire series IMO (order 66& immolation scene). But if it weren’t for that damn dialogue that Lucas felt the need to trash up its theatrical version might have been higher.
5. The Phantom Menace
   Do I hate Jar Jar or the botched romance more? I hate the botched romance more and henceforth I condone the THEATRICAL release of TPM a piece of shit. Just not as shitty as Attack of the Clones.
6. Attack of the Clones
   What a piece of shit

FAVORITE FAN EDIT REVISED LIST:

1. K6650 ESB semi-specialized
   He keeps a few of the SE changes I like and treats this film with the reverence it deserves. Looking forward to ESB:R.
2. Hal9000 ANH Custom SE OR ANH:R
   Again, retaining few good SE changes. And of course I give holy praise to Adywans ANH Revisted. His attention to detail is astounding and much appreciated!
3. DOTE(L8wtr)/LOE(Hal9000)
   With a mashup here of these edits, it has made episode 3 into the most emotional Star Wars film with believable characters, improved dialogue, and scene reordering to recreate episode 3 into not only a great Star Wars film IMO but a great film of tradegy. A film about the rise of an empire and the fall of an republic done in stunning fashion.
4. Return of the Jedi (Q2 Edit)
   Pretty much removed offensive SE elements and keep Sebastian shaw. I’m almost finished with my own edit though.
5. Force Awakens N/A
   No fan edits yet of course. But still prefer theatrical to fan edited episodes 1&2.
6. Cloak of Deception (Hal9000)
   Jar jar is relatively okay, You end up rooting for Anakin, improved dialogue etc. what once was a piece of shit is now enjoyable.
7. Approaching Storm (Hal9000)
   Anakin is not a creeper, romance is believable, tightened up plot etc. what once was a piece of shit is now enjoyable.

Jabba not resisting a Jedi mind trick would make the escape pretty boring.

But AOTC is the worst no matter the presence or non-presence of CPY.

I agree that AOTC is the worst but I don’t see what’s so wrong with creep-puppet-yoda, at least he’s somewhat believable unlike the CGI-shitpile that is the new version.
